First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how two types of sweet oranges—one rich in certain nutrients called carotenoids and one without—affect inflammation and oxidative stress in healthy adults. Twenty healthy people ate one of the two orange varieties daily for four weeks. Researchers measured changes in blood markers and gene activity to see if the carotenoid-rich oranges offered extra health benefits.
